Social and Biological Evolution

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1984
Evolution poses some very special problems in scientific methodology.

Details of the model are presented and its methodological implications are discussed.

The Biological Conceptions of Evolution

1974
In biology the notion of evolution (1) means that the different forms of life actually have a structure and a position in nature which are due to a development from other forms. This development generally is called phylogenetic because it concerns the development of species, or phylogeny; in biology the notion of evolution is not related to ontogeny ...
